Querida Família,
 
Happy birthday a couple of days ago Mom and Ariel! These past few weeks I have gone to quiet a few birthday parties. The 31st of Dezember was the birthday of a member so we went and had dinner and ate cake, the 1st of January was Sister Petries birthday so ate cake in their apartment, the 5th was Elder Petries birthday so we ate brownies and ice-cream with them and yesterday was the birthday of the mom of the first member so we went there and ate more cake. No, I am not getting fat, I'm still ripped.
 
On Tuesday Elder Walton and I traveled to João Pessoa for a meeting. We left Monday at 11:40 pm and got there just in time for the meeting Tuesday morning. We ate lunch with President Hall and then had to come back, but we had to bring a bunch of Christmas packages, pamphlets, and copies of The Book of Mormon with us. I was carrying two boxes, each one with 40 copies of the Book of Mormon, and I bent over to put them down in the bus station in João Pessoa. When I bent over I heard something rip. To make a long story short, I had to travel from João Pessoa to Sousa with a giant rip in the back of my pants. It was pretty embarassing  so I made Elder Walton walk close behind the whole time so  no one would see.
 
This week we had a member with us everyday while we worked. We visited a bunch of inactives and got the members to work a little as well and yesterday  86 people went to sacrament meeting. The last three weeks the attendance was: 37, 38, 38, so this week was a lot better.
 
We also brought two investigator families to church. They are really good families that would be able to strengthen the church a lot. Their names are Derval e Ledjia, e Edjailton e Karol. These people need to be baptized. The Church desperately needs leaders here. Pray that they will recieve testimonies and be baptized.
 
Gotta go,
Elder  Jay
